Message: From GoLocalProv by Aaron Regunberg, GoLocalProv MINDSETTER™: Do you value your kid’s extracurricular opportunities? Well, then, you’d better be willing to pony up, according to Senator DiPalma and Representatives Finn, Ruggerio and Abney, who have introduced bills in the RI State Legislature that would allow school districts to charge ‘pay-to-play’ fees for participation in school activities. The rationale is that cash-strapped districts should have the flexibility to assess “reasonable fees” for students’ participation in such areas as “athletics, internships, work experiences, band, chorus, acting or theater groups, cheerleading, dancing, and other activities sponsored or authorized by a public school district for the benefit of, and participation by students within said school district and which activities are outside the ambit of traditional educational instruction.” http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/aaron-regunberg-pay-to-play-a-loser-for-ri-students
